Trump made a public statement in 2016 that he would never support amnesty and he tried to pass a bill in 2018 that would have given amnesty to 11 million illegals.
Trump lies just like any other politician.
When he picks Nikki Haley, what will you do?
I desperately want to be wrong about this.
I don't want to see Nikki Haley on any GOP ticket.
I hope Trump is not retarded enough to pick Haley but alas he sadly will be.
I prefer DeSantis because he atleast admits he made a mistake during early days of COVID and is now a staunch voice against COVID authoritarianism.
Trump still has Kushner in his inner circle and has refused to acknowledge he ever made any mistake during COVID.
He still brags about being the father of the COVID vax.
I will take DeSantis anyday over Trump.
Tell me why a MAGA candidate let Jew Jared Kushner be Prime Minister of his adminstration?
I disagree with RDS's actions concerning that bill but if we are talking about Jewish influence in American politics, Donald Trump is vastly worse.
He let Kushner run free on advancing Jewish interests.
Ok I absolutely agree with you that Haley is being supported by the establishment GOP and even Dem donors.
You didn't need to make a new thread to try to tell me what I already know.
What I disagree with you on is that Trump will pick Haley as his V.P.
What are you going to say when Trump picks Nikki Haley as his V.P.?
You are correct. Word is spreading in GOP circles that Trump will be selecting Haley as V.P.
The establishment wing wants Trump to pick Haley and they are promising him big donor money for doing so.
Trump in 2016 would have never picked Haley.
Trump in 2024 would pick her.
Trump in 2024 is an establishment candidate.
Vivek has still been riding Trump's dick.
Vivek hasn't even criticized Trump on the many mistakes that Trump made.
Don't see why Trump would feel the need to attack him now unless he had internal polling data showing Vivek was cutting into Trump's support base.
It is not a sign of strength to attack Vivek right before the first primary caucus.
DeSantis is clearly in camp 2 with how the establishment has treated him.
Establishment clowns like Lindsey Graham, Kevin Cramer and Rick Scott endorsed Donald Trump.
Establishment clowns like Chris Sununu endorsed Haley.
It is clear that Haley and Trump are the people in camp 1.
Vivek and DeSantis are in camp 2.
DeSantis's supporters are mainly people like me who think Trump fucked us with his terrible COVID response, especially Operation Warpspeed, not firing Fauci, not crackdowning on BLM riots and bad personnel selection across the board.
Vivek's supporters are people who think he is a younger better version of Trump.
Trump in 2016 was an anti-establishment candidate. In 2024 he is the establishment, look at his endorsements.
You will be disappointed then.
Most elected politicians in the Texas legislature have openly stated they are against secession.
This is not the avenue they will pursue.
I don't think that is likely.
Secession wouldn't pass in even the Texas State Senate and it is definitely not going anywhere in the Texas State House.
I think Texas can still stay in the Union while protecting its sovereign right to enforce border security.
I didn't think he was capable of doing this either.
I am pleasantly surprised by this move.
I hope he stays firm and doesn't cuck out when the DOJ gets a rubber stamped judge order to stop this.
Texas must secure it's own border.
Texas governor Greg Abbott is surprisingly squaring off against the Feds with this move.
2024 is shaping up to be a very wild year.
Reagan got played hard on immigration.
He signed a deal that exchanges amnesty for border security.
Democrats got the amnesty and rescinded the border security funding.
Trump was about to repeat Reagan's mistake in 2018. Thankfully he was stopped as the Democrats didn't want to give Trump anything even if they benefited overall. Their blind hatred of Trump saved us for once.
Trump's ego is a big problem. He should have never even entertained any deal that includes amnesty for ANY illegal alien.
He initially ran on no amnesty, he should have kept that promise while in office.
Trump's poor personnel selection and his ego were ultimately responsible for why he was unable to win 2020.
If he had fired Fauci early and ended lockdowns much sooner, not signed CARES act and stopped violent BLM riots with Insurrection Act, he would have won 2020 as Dems would have been unable to flood the zone with mass mail in ballots and Dems would have been unable to use COVID and BLM against him.
Too bad Trump refuses to learn from these key mistakes.
The title of my topic has a typo that says 1.2 million illegals. It should say 1.8 million illegals.
Democrats could have gotten the amnesty and then rescinded the funding for border enforcement, we are lucky that they opted to not make any deal with Trump.
You are a retard.
DeSantis is a vastly better candidate than that orange faggot Trump.
If Trump wanted to prevent something like J6 then he should have never had his supporters come to D.C. and especially not meet up near the Capitol building on that day.
People had their lives ruined over Trump leading them into a trap.
For him to say that he would have used lethal military force to stop his OWN people from entering a building and walking inside is disgusting.
If Trump knew he wasn't getting adequate security, then he should have never had his supporters walk into this trap.
Trump has poor judgment, refuses to accept he has made any mistakes and tries to defend himself now by saying he would killed his own people.
It is beyond stupid that he is doing this now.
Trump literally reposted an article saying Trump did nothing wrong because he authorized 10,000 soldiers with automatic weapons crushing the "rebellion"
This is no exaggeration.
Charlie Cuck and TPUSA are worthless, They grift off conservatives and achieve nothing of tangible value.
I constantly am reminded that the Trump campaign has not learned from it's prior mistakes by what they are doing now.
That is what makes me "blackpilled".
He and his team are not focusing on what needs to be focused on in order to win 2024.
Too many incompetent people are in key positions like Alina Habba who is ill suited to fight off Democrat lawfare and campaign manager Alex Brueswitz who spends more time attacking fellow Republicans than attacking Biden.
I think Trump will lose the state in 2024 and also lose other swing states.
You think he wins the state in 2024 and also wins the general election.
Let's come back this November and we will see who was right.
I don't need to live in Wisconsin to look at the election data and analyze it for 2020.
Trump lost the swing states including Wisconsin in 2020 over three reasons:
-
Trump's bad Covid response
-
That covid response let Democrats abuse mass mail in ballots
-
BLM riots motivated Democrats and scared suburbs to vote Dem to end the chaos
It was a mixture of all of these reasons.
I never said he lost Wisconsin just over the BLM riots. I said that it didn't help him.
Nothing happened to me. I still say it like I see it.
Vivek is really not subtle about anything.
Can't wait to watch you say that Donald Trump is playing 4d chess by picking Nikki Haley as his V.P!
